Are they really this clueless?

I just received an email from a Christian organization with the statement below. I find it hard to believe such an uptight group would make this pun intentionally, but almost as hard to believe that they could miss it

Well, at least they provided a bit of unintended humor with their lunacy. I have relatives who forward me the most outrageously awful things like this, i've taken to deleting them unopened. Perhaps I should start looking for mocking purposes?

My husband follows this kind of thing because he says it's important to know one's enemy. I think that's true, to an extent. You need to know what lies are spreading. But it makes me sick to my stomach sometimes.

Sigh. You know, am Scandinavian... but also lefthanded. And agnostic atheist, so lots of US societal and otherwise cultural issues make me want to bash my head in on a regular basis if I think about it too much. And I don't want a parade for lefthanded people but I'd be very happy if the pathetically bad popmusic and all the glitter would stop. And the noise. I'm all for marriage and/or registered partnership for homossexuals, but I don't think it's a "right" to have children, as I think their welfare should come first. Not quite sure what to believe.

As it happens, I'm married to a left-handed agnostic atheist, but in this country and our generation, that has presented no problems for him, and we certainly weren't denied a marriage license because of it. (Of course, these things are not true everywhere. He had to leave Poland because his family is Jewish, and he was forced there to learn to write with his right hand. In that place, religion and handedness were definitely issues.) He doesn't go to parades for left-handed people, but he does get catalogs of items like can openers designed to make their lives easier, which is a proportionate response to the problems he faces

See, I know that I could order left-handed stuff online (or, at least, say, 7 years ago I could've) at a company that's based in my city, but you can't actually visit the place and it wasn't all that cheap. Which... A whole lot easier to be lefthanded in a country with a bigger population than 9 million, I'd wager. But I make do. It's just not fair when people say I'm clumsy for instance when I can't see where I'm cutting... and some appliances are downright dangerous

I hope they at least let you learn to write with your left hand. My husband's parents believed that it was a sign of stupidity, and to this day he writes with his right hand, atrociously

Full-blown heterosexual marriage is okay, though? There goes my theory that all those homophobic groups out there are also "God told us to go forth and procreate, so only have procreative sex if you have sex at all" anti-choice yahoos, too.
